    Emotet: German-led team shuts down 'world's most dangerous' malware


    Authorities say they are now in control of a cyberattack instrument mainly used by organized crime networks.




    An international team led by German and Dutch investigators brought down the operational network Emotet, described as the world's most destructive malware, Europol announced on Wednesday.

    The international law-enforcement agency tweeted the news saying: "Bye-bye botnets. Huge global operation brings down the world's most dangerous malware."

    The Emotet infrastructure had been used mainly by organized crime networks, but was taken over after a two-year investigation in eight countries.

    How does the malware work?

    Emotet has been one of the "most dangerous instruments for cyberattacks" in recent years, a Europol spokesperson said, adding that it had first appeared in 2014 as a so-called trojan.

    "The Emotet infrastructure ... was able to infect entire networks in a unique way just by accessing a few devices," the spokesman said.

    The malwareentered a user's system as an innocent-looking Word document, often in an email attachment.

    The virus was hidden inside fake invoices, delivery announcements or false information about COVID-19 — and much like the coronavirus, it would then quickly replicate itself inside the system.

    Once inside a system, someone with access to the malware infrastructure could use it to smuggle in their own trojan viruses in order to gain access to bank data, sell stolen data or extort money for blocked data.

    US defense secretary touts Germany as 'highly valued' station for troops

    The US defense secretary has told his German counterpart that American troops "feel very comfortable" in Germany. In a controversial move, former President Trump ordered US troop numbers to be reduced by more than 25%.


    About 34,500 US troops are currently stationed in Germany

    Germany is "highly valued" as a station for American soldiers, US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told German Defense Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer in their first conversation since Austin took up his new position, the German Defense Ministry said Thursday.

    Last year, then-President Donald Trump ordered the number of troops stationed in Germany to be reduced by more than 25%. However, German officials have hoped that the order would be retracted by the new administration led by President Joe Biden.

    During a call with Kramp-Karrenbauer on Wednesday, Austin "emphasized that Germany is highly valued as a station and that American soldiers feel very comfortable here," The Associated Press reported.

    "The US continues to consider its presence in Germany as an important part of joint security," the German Defense Ministry tweeted.

    "Secretary Austin expressed his gratitude to Germany for continuing to serve as a great host for US forces, and expressed his desire for a continued dialogue on US force posture in Germany," the Pentagon said in a statement.

    The two officials also discussed a range of other issues, including NATO cooperation, the coronavirus pandemic and the security situations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

    Around 34,500 US troops are stationed in Germany, which plays host to key American military facilities like the Ramstein Air Base and the headquarters for the US European Command and US Africa Command.

    Ở Đức giới trẻ bỏ đạo Ki-Tô và Tin Lành ngày một nhiều. Một người bạn người Việt của tui đùa rằng đạo đức không có đạo đức. Nghĩa là đạo ở Đức không có đạo đức. Thật sự thì chỉ cần mấy con sâu là rầu nồi canh. Cái quan trọng hơn là ở đây đóng thuế đạo nhiều quá nên tụi trẻ bây giờ nó bỏ chạy hết.




    Germany: Calls for cardinal to release report on sexual abuse of minors

    Pressure has increased on a Catholic cardinal over the release of a report on child sex abuse. The diocese council of Cologne has said Cardinal Woelki has a moral obligation to allow its publication.


    Cardinal Woelki has come under increasing pressure to release a report about child sex abuse

    A German Catholic cardinal, who has for months prevented the publication of a report on alleged sexual abuse of minors, came under increasing pressure on Friday to relent.

    Cardinal Rainer Maria Woelki, a conservative clergyman who is also the archbishop of Cologne, has often resisted reforms within the Catholic Church and has faced mounting criticism over blocking the release of the independent report on abuse committed by members of his diocese, Germany's largest, between 1975 and 2018.

    In November, Woelki turned to the head of the Catholic Church for assistance, urging Pope Francis to take over the investigation.

    Moral obligations


    In a rare public rebuke, the diocese council of Cologne, which groups clergy and laypeople, heavily criticized the Woelki, saying he had "completely failed as a moral authority."

    "We find ourselves in the biggest crisis that the Church has ever experienced," Tim Kurzbach, head of the council, said in a statement.

    "Those responsible must finally also take responsibility," the statement continued. "We need clarity now. Otherwise, we have no chance of getting out of this misery."

    The statement added: "Don't wait until Rome decides or a legal expert tells you what you have done wrong."

    Cardinal points to right to privacy

    Victims have expressed outrage at Woelki's obstruction in the publishing of the report.

    The cardinal has justified his stance by citing the alleged perpetrators' right to privacy.

    The investigation was conducted by a Munich law firm, but Woelki has questioned the researchers' independence.

    In early November, the diocese of Aachen published its own study prepared by the same law firm.

    A separate study released in 2018 and commissioned by the German Bishops' Conference showed that 1,670 clergymen had committed some form of sexual attack against 3,677 minors, mostly boys, between 1946 and 2014. The report's authors pointed out that the number of victims was likely much higher since many people choose not to report the abuse.

    Cardinal Reinhard Marx, a prominent reformer, apologized on behalf of the German Catholic Church for the abuse committed by the clergy. The Church currently pays victims an average sum of €5,000 ($6,065) "in recognition of their suffering," as well as covering their therapy fees.

    Portugal close to running out of ICU beds for COVID patients

    LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal said on Saturday it only had seven vacant beds left in intensive care units (ICUs) set up for COVID-19 cases on its mainland, as a surge in infections prompted the authorities to send some critical patients to Portuguese islands.

    Health Ministry data showed that, out of 850 ICU beds allocated to COVID-19 cases on its mainland, a record 843 beds were now occupied. The nation of 10 million people has an additional 420 ICU beds for those with other ailments.

    The ministry said the number of daily infections was 12,435, dipping from Thursday's record, while there were 293 deaths.

    Portugal, which has so far reported a total of 12,179 COVID-19 deaths and 711,018 cases, has the world's highest seven-day rolling average of cases and deaths per capita, according to data tracker www.ourworldindata.org.

    The Justice Ministry said on Friday its institute of forensic medicine, whose role includes handling autopsies for the police and others, had requested a refrigerator truck to preserve bodies as funeral homes were not able to take them fast enough.

    An association representing funeral homes said public hospitals were also running out of refrigerated space to preserve bodies. Some hospitals have installed cold containers to ease pressure on their morgues.

    With mainland beds running low, three patients needing critical care were airlifted from Lisbon to the Portuguese island of Madeira on Friday, where the health system is under less pressure.

    The government has attributed the surge in infections to a decision to relax restrictions over the Christmas period, blaming the speed at which infections have spread on a new variant first detected in Britain.

    Portugal's health institute, the Ricardo Jorge, told Lusa news agency the variant was likely to account for 65% of new COVID-19 cases within three weeks. Portugal has extended a lockdown to mid-February and imposed strict travel restrictions.

    Pope sets date to honor 'forgotten' grandparents and elders
    https://news.yahoo.com/pope-sets-date-honor-forgotten-145222867.html

    This year, Francis will celebrate a special Mass in honor of them on the evening of July 25, pandemic restrictions permitting, the Vatican said. In customary Sunday noon remarks, Francis noted that each year on July 26, the church honors Saints Anne and Joachim, the parents of Jesus’ mother, Mary.

    It's important that grandparents encounter grandchildren and grandchildren encounter grandparents," Francis said. He added that “grandparents will dream, will have great desires, in regards to grandchildren, and the young, taking strength from grandparents, will go forward.”

    UK kicks off new Hong Kong visa scheme

    A British plan to offer millions of Hong Kongers a path to British citizenship will take effect on Sunday. The UK government believes the new visa program could attract over 300,000 Hong Kongers to Britain.

    A British scheme to offer millions of Hong Kongers a path to British citizenship will take effect on Sunday.

    From Sunday afternoon, anyone with a British National Overseas (BNO) passport and their dependents will be able to apply online for a visa allowing them to live and work in the United Kingdom.After five years of stay in the UK, they will be able to apply for citizenship.

    BNO is a special status created under British law in 1987 that specifically relates to Hong Kong.

    The latest visa plan is a response to Beijing's decision last year to impose a sweeping national security law on Hong Kong, to quell widespread pro-democracy protests.

    Britain has accused China of violating its promise made ahead of Hong Kong's 1997 handover, that the financial hub would maintain key liberties and autonomy for 50 years.

    Could bring in over 300,000 people

    The UK government forecasts the new visa could attract more than 300,000 people and their dependents to Britain.

    "We have honored our profound ties of history and friendship with the people of Hong Kong, and we have stood up for freedom and autonomy," UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson said this week. Chinese officials have, however, denounced the plan.

    On Friday China announced that it would no longer recognize BNO passports as a legitimate travel or identification document. The move was, however, largely symbolic as Hong Kongers generally use their own passports and ID cards to leave the city.

    Phoebe Kong, DW's correspondent in Hong Kong says China has not ruled out further retaliation.

    "There have been rumors that many pro-Beijing politicians are suggesting that authorities [should] consider revoking the civil rights of Hong Kong citizens who emigrate to the UK with their BNO passports."

    No special freedoms for the vaccinated in Germany

    Should those who have been vaccinated against the coronavirus be granted free travel or access to restaurants and cinemas? A debate on these issues is raging in Germany, with its ethics council weighing in.



    The German ethics council on Thursday spoke out against lifting restrictions for individuals who have been vaccinated against COVID-19.

    Germany has been in partial lockdown since November. Bars, restaurants and cultural and sporting facilities are closed. Schools and non-essential shops were added to the list in mid-December, with rules on mask-wearing and working from home tightened in January amid concerns over new virus variants.

    Vaccinations started at the end of December with people over 80 and their carers front of the line. There is currently a shortage of vaccines in Germany, and it will take several months for a majority of people to be immunized and become eligible for the lifting of restrictions.

    Over the past few weeks tourism agencies, event managers and some politicians had suggested allowing those who have been vaccinated to travel, eat in restaurants, attend concerts and other events which would involve close contact with a high number of other people.

    Infectiousness of the vaccinated still unclear

    Foreign Minister Heiko Maas was the first high-profile politician to speak out in favor of lifting restrictions. "Someone who cannot fall seriously ill with the coronavirus anymore will not need intensive care and burden the health care system. He should no longer have to suffer restrictions to his basic rights and freedoms," he told Bild am Sonntag newspaper in January.

    Such proposals have been met with criticism, for example from Left party chairwoman Katja Kipping, who urged adherence to freedom and equality stipulations in the German constitution.

    Chancellor Angela Merkel also ruled out special regulations this Monday. The COVID-19 vaccination is not mandatory in Germany. Distinguishing between the vaccinated and those not vaccinated would be the same as a mandatory vaccination," Interior Minister Horst Seehofer had warned.

    The ethics council on Thursday pointed out that it had to be clarified first whether vaccinated people might still be able to transmit the virus. Only if that were ruled out could any exemption from rules such as wearing masks in public places be considered.

    "At the present time, withdrawing state restrictions on freedoms for vaccinated people should not take place as it is not yet possible to reliably assess infectiousness," Ethics Council head Alena Buyx told a news conference in Berlin on Thursday.

    Slippery slope

    Council member Sigrid Graumann warned of a knock-on effect if restrictions were lifted for vaccinated individuals. If those who have been vaccinated no longer need to wear a face mask when traveling on public transport, and no one comes to check their immunization passes, others may feel encouraged to do away with their masks too, she said.

    Council President Buyx warned that the term "privileges" was divisive and inaccurate. The council suggested lifting of restrictions on joint meals, family visits and small social gatherings for those living in care facilities, once everybody has been vaccinated there. The near-total isolation of those living in such facilities had led to depression and accelerated the onset of dementia among those living there. Such a curb on basic freedoms, the council warned, was only justifiable while the residents had not yet been vaccinated.

    Lifting these restrictions was not a matter of granting "privileges," Grauman explained, but of retracting measures that had led to a disadvantage, which was legitimate only as long as there was no other way to protect lives.

    The council saw a need to differentiate between regulations imposed by authorities and those imposed by private companies. The latter being free to decide on terms and conditions for their businesses, such as who to sell tickets to or who to allow onto their premises. But forcing employees to be vaccinated would be illegal, pointed out ethics council Vice-Chairman Volker Lipp.

    Council members spoke out in favor of equality and solidarity. "It might be more helpful, at least while we're still struggling with lockdowns and struggling with a very heavy wave of the pandemic, to focus on what keeps us together. And that's a joint effort against the pandemic," Council head Alena Buyx suggested.

    The ethics council members are appointed by the German president to advise policy makers. The council's proposals are not binding.

    Que c'est triste Venise au temps de Carnaval:

    Carnival time in empty Venice
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/feb/05/carnival-time-in-empty-venice-nobodys-thinking-about-celebrating

    Among the masks on display at Tragicomica, one of the oldest traditional mask shops in Venice, are about a dozen or so with long beaks. Called medico della peste, or plague doctor, they are based on masks worn by doctors who tended to plague victims during an outbreak in the 17th century.

    While once they were a potent symbol of death, in modern times they became one of the most prominent emblems of festivity during Venice’s carnival.

    But the accessory has again taken on more calamitous connotations amid the coronavirus pandemic, which, much like the outbreaks of plague that struck the vulnerable lagoon city, has created a climate of fear and wrecked the economy.


    Carnival should have ushered in two weeks of fun and frolics starting on Saturday. Instead, the streets and squares of the historic centre are eerily empty for the second year running as businesses reckon with the absence of the 3 million tourists who would usually attend.

    Before 2020, when the carnival was cut short after three days as the pandemic hit northern Italy, the only year it had been dropped from the calendar was 1990, because of the Gulf war.

    The loss of this year’s event is seen by many as the final blow for a city which, faced with a continuously dwindling population, has come to wholly depend on tourism for its survival.

    “There are no people,” said Dall’Osto. “We don’t have Venetians, as so many have left over the years, and we don’t have tourists. We have lived these past months with a feeling of melancholy, as we were so used to seeing people. Venice is now like a big park that’s closed and is waiting to reopen. It’s a serious problem.”

    Venice authorities have endeavoured to keep the spirit of the carnival alive by streaming a programme of events online from the city’s casino, the premise being that people can party at home while recalling the festival’s traditions and history.
